So Which Rookies Made The Team?

Starsdude · Oct 3, 2005

Mieetinen Jokinin and Daley for the stars. Lessard should have made it but they decided to play it cheap keep only 22 and keep the talentless Burnett

Denis has been shaky. Chalk it up to the year off IMO. He played nowhere. And the simple fact is leclaire has outplayed MD in training camp. Now give him some time and I think Denis will be back. But Leclaire has definitly turned heads in camp.

I saw Leclaire too many times in the 'Cuse; I hope he sticks this time with the CBJ.

Well I'm not Edmonton Brass but I can tell you he impressed them a lot in training camp. They clearly liked him because they took him as high as they did but he's played very well through camp.

I'd guess that they send him out today but he'll be back. imo he's in a mix with Mathieu Roy and Dan Smith just below the NHL and with the way Cory Cross has played in pre-season it won't be long for one of them.

Oilers also don't have a plethora of prospects on the blueline who are close. If you asked me for a template in terms of timeline I'd probably pick MA Bergeron who was signed in July 01 and played pretty much a full season in 03-04.

Yeah, Cory Cross is as useful as a tree stump.

The Caps have some kid named Ovechkin playing this year, think he'll be any good.

Mike Green is making it very difficult for the team to send him back to Hershey ---- I think he'll be in Washington for the start of the season.

Perezhogin, Plekanec, Higgins, Danis maybe (I hope not) Ivanans. Lot of young gun this year in MTL.

Add Mark Streit's name to the list.

SIX rookies with the Habs this year.... altough Streit is 27.

Le Golie · Oct 3, 2005

Robert Nilsson will be opening the season on the Islanders top line with Yashin and Satan. He was taken off that line for a few exhibition games but has been practicing again with them over the past two days.

Sean Bergenheim was sent down today. So Nilsson, Chris Campoli and Petteri Nokelainen are the three rookies who will start the season on the Island.

Fan-of-#9 · Oct 3, 2005

Vanek, Gaustad, Pominville and the #1 goaltender in town, Ryan Miller.

Phaneuf has made the Flames blueline, and Eric Nystrom is a bubble player right now, looks like he might start in Omaha though.

Hunter Gathers · Oct 3, 2005

Rangers:

Lundqvist
Moore (possibly)
Prucha (possibly)
Hollweg (possibly)
Tyutin
Kondratiev

Is Marcel Hossa still technically a rookie?

Either way, it's a much younger team this year.

I really hope Nystrom gets to hang around the big club, experience is more important for him than getting top line minutes in Omaha IMO, not to mention Loyns and Myhres are simply not better options than him right now.

DaveG · Oct 3, 2005

Carolina:
Andrew Hutchinson
Niklas Nordgren
Mike Zigomanis
Cam Ward

They aren't all rookies but it looks as though some of the younger players that made Phoenix's twenty-three man roster are Mike Rupp, David LeNeveu, Freddy Sjostrom, Keith Ballard, and Zybanek Michalek.

Myhres should be getting top line icetime...

He was, 3 years ago. I guess that now, since hes out of montreal, he's the 2nd coming of Marian and not only that, he's become a lot younger.

So Habs officially have Plecanek, Higgins, Perezhogin and Streit.

There are pros and cons... but considering Nystrom has never played a lick of pro-hockey yet I think it might be okay to give him top line minutes in Omaha.

Loyns and Myhers won't be up anyways, Byron Ritchie will be the extra forward. Myhers hasn't been sent down yet because he is injured.

Vic Rattlehead* · Oct 3, 2005

Tovionen won the backup spot to Raycroft as Thomas was sent down today (and put on waivers).

dru · Oct 3, 2005

Gilbert Brule just got signed by the Jackets. :propeller

What gives you that idea? Because someone asked if he's still a rookie?

he could score 20 playing with Iginla

Jori · Oct 3, 2005

Wolski, Svatos (only two regular season games played) and Budaj for Colorado.

Hockey Moose said:
Gleason
Cammalleri
Brown

For Los Angeles

I'm pretty sure none of these three are considered rookies anymore.

Debrincat93 · Oct 3, 2005

Detroit said Frazen has offically made it, he played awesome for a guy with his potential. Hell be a great 3rd liner, holmstrom like potential, stats wise... could see a flukke 20 goals season in there down the road but more like probably 10-15, 30 pts decent plus minus and hopefully picks up some quality PIMs due to his size if he uses it

Howard will be up until Osgood is back... doubt he sees any time inless legace is shacky to start, but that has to be realllly shacky because howard is very skilled but not really near NHL ready yet, needs 1-2 years of seasoning atleast
NOteables:

Kronwall did make it, but got hurt, hell be the 3rd defensemen the second he comes back if hes back in form early...

Hudler and Filppula will be firsts called up baring injury to a skilled player for top 6 minutes hopefully, whoever is playing better will be called

Bootland and Ellis will be called up if we think we need a grittier fill in, id say bootland because when he gets called up, he sparks the team for a little while with fights and hits, then dies off... if we can get him to spart for a few gms and send him down again he may be good for a call up or 2
